The most common buzz word used in young adult ministry is, "community". Finding a place to belong is one of the greatest challenges of starting out in life. In fact, it is an issue that never changes as you get older. But few stop to ask what godly community is and where it comes from. In this lesson, Pastor Philip Jackson teaches the 2023 vision message for REACH Young Adult Ministries and announces the theme for the year.

There is a perception in Christianity that the Gospel is the ticket into the club, but all the really good stuff is after that. The entire Bible is pointing, from beginning to end, to the Gospel. There is no Christianity 2.0. There is no advanced stuff. And there is no leaving the Gospel behind as if it's just for beginners. The Gospel is the point. It is the "good news" to all humanity. If we lose sight of the Gospel we have never understood the faith from the start. This is why Paul spent the entire book of Romans writing the most comprehensive explanation of the Gospel in the Bible. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert starts a new series on the Gospel in Romans called, "Bound to Christ" in Romans 1:1-17.

We spend so much of our lives focused on what is happening around us. What is happening to us. We focus on the things we cannot control instead of the things that God has given us to focus on. When was the last time you realized the problem in your life is not outside? The problem in your life is the sin inside of your life. God wants us to eradicate the things that cause the civil war within us. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert ends the "Kingless" series in Judges chapter 20.

There is only one real love in the world. The unconditional, sacrificial, righteous love of God. When we love in selfish and self centered ways we do not even mimic real love. Being transformed by Christ is what enables us to love others the way He loves them. Are we intentional about loving others in a Christlike way or do we not even care? This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert explores one of the darkest moments in the Bible in Judges chapter 19.

Encountering the living God is a life changing experience. When we come into contact with God we learn who He is and that he has come to save us. God not only wants us to know who He is, but He wants us to share His name so all can be rescued from the slavery of sin. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about encountering God from Exodus chapter 3.

We often go about life treating God like an afterthought. We make up God's mind for Him and put words in His mouth. Then when things don't go our way we blame God for not blessing our path. If we truly know God we are able to follow Him and praise Him how He desires to be praised. If we don't know God we often are upset with Him for our own mistakes. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about truly knowing God's desires in Judges chapters 17 and 18.

As we obey God’s call on our lives it is common for Him to move us from place to place. Sometimes that can be a relief, but what about when we seem to be succeeding? What do we do when He calls us away from an endeavor that is growing and bearing fruit? In this lesson Pastor Philip Jackson lays out the Biblical perspective on success for believers and how to navigate laying down our priorities.

Do you realize how much God has already done for you? Do you ever take time to thank God for all of His provision? What happens when you're in the next crisis? Do you always remember how faithful God is or do you immediately try to fix it yourself like the last time? God wants you to remember Him in the middle of the crisis. This week Sam Miller finishes his series from the life of Asa in 2 Chronicles.

When we understand how much we rely on God, it should inspire us to seek Him. Not only that, but when we seek Him, He promises us that we will find Him. Nothing will cause your heart to rejoice more than to seek God and find Him. This week Sam Miller continues with the life of Asa and shows us how to seek God.

As the church began to experience broad persecution for the very first time, the message of the gospel began to spread. The murder of Stephen was only the beginning of what would become of the church. In this lesson, Pastor Philip Jackson teaches the story of the first international mission trip recorded in church history and the testimony of a man who got caught pretending to be a child of God.
